Vesper Vest: Mist is an elongated vest knit from the top down with side vents and panels that extend downwards to the knitter’s desired length. It includes selvage i-cord edges and a wrap front closure that secures with i-cord ties. The waist shaping included in the pattern instructions can be omitted for a strait fit.

It is knit with two strands of fingering weight wool held together one strand of silk mohair, however, knitters can use whatever yarn they choose, as long as they get the correct gauge.

Techniques: backwards knitting (only for one row; instructions are included), i-cord, i-cord cast on and bind off, kitchener’ stitch, m1R, m1L, m1pR, m1pL, provisional cast on.

Fit: I designed the vest with -4 inches ease at the bust, however if a looser fit is desired, knitters can size up.
